Abstract: A method and system to detect a change in a communications channel system. An ultra-wideband transmitted signal is transmitted and a received signal is received. At least one channel impulse response of a communications channel is determined. The determined channel impulse responses are adapted to a known channel impulse response of the communications channel to produce a respective adapted channel impulse response in such a manner that a correlation coefficient resulting from the determined channel impulse response and the known channel impulse response increases. The adapted channel impulse responses are filtered in a time direction via a filter unit to obtain a specific filter signal of the filtered, adapted channel impulse responses of the communications channel. The change in the communications channel system is detected at least on the basis of the specific filter signal of the at least one communications channel.

Abstract: A method for wirelessly accessing a vehicle including the steps of: exchanging data between a UID-transponder and the vehicle to verify authorization of the UID-transponder, triangulating a location of UID-transponder relative to the vehicle using at least three first antennas being positioned at three different first positions of the vehicle and providing access to the vehicle under the first authorization condition that the UID-transponder is identified as an authorized UID-transponder and if the location meets a second authorization condition as well, to recognize a relay attack.

Abstract: A method for remote controlling an object with a remote-control unit is provided. At least a first surface S1, S2, Si is defined in a first coordinate system. At least a first function of the object is associated to the first surface S1, S2, Si. A second coordinate system is defined at the position of the remote-control unit. A static pointing vector 28 is defined in the second coordinate system. It is then determined whether the pointing vector points towards the first surface S1, S2, Si. If so, the object is enabled to selectively activate the first operation upon receipt of an activation command.
